protein powder = diahrea

[recumbant69]

even whey isolate and caseinate cause me diahrea. does anyone else have the same problem? do i have a weak stomach?

 

[regurgitator]

........

More like Protein powder gives me nasty gas! You know the kind where even you want to run away its so bad!!

 

[Sniperwolf]

If anything having a lot of protein gives me constipation. I have to eat a lot of prunes and figs to make sure I go everyday.

 

[FSUGeneticFreak]

I'll second the gas thing. I swear it smells like something has died when i rip ass sometimes.

 

[maxellyz]

no problems so far

 

[acneman]

hi one of the guys on the anabolic board said that ginger would help digest protein but my advice is to take a milk digestant like lactaide it will help do digest dairy base proteins like whey. if im wrong tell me why but it helped me.

 

[regurgitator]

..............

Yup, I use the Labrada Lean Body MRP's and they give you that nasty gym sock gas, maybe we should get Beano or something.

 

[the nature boy]

acneman is probably correct, it's probably related to lactose intolerance. or it could be due to the fact you're body isn't able to assimilate all the protein you're ingesting.

 

[recumbant69]

recumbant again, i take only 25 grams of protein at a time.

 

[Bobba]

Drink water! It really helps you digest the protein better. 30-40 oz in addition to whatever you mix your powder with should do the trick. And have some fruit or vegetables with the shake too.

Try.

Try Isopure. The Milk based Proteins Get my stomach turning and I have no problems with drinking/Eating Diary products. Anyhow I am on Isopure and that stuff really goes down easy and without the bad stomach feeling.

 

[Hogdude]

Isopure

I agree, Isopure tastes good and it mixes easy, noticed alot less of the nasty cramping shits as well....

 

[WarriorPL]

i once cleared out a classroom once i started taking protein, no joke the whole class literally got up and moved away from me. LOL it was an SBD but it was so obvious who it came from since i couldn't stop laughing

[big mouse]

yes it does and bad gas to my mother and wife hate me becuse im in the restroom more than they are

 

[Sleepy]

I have read, like above , that ginger helps ease digestion. also i have read the same thing about papaya. just a thought, i have never tried either.

 

[blaster220]

I did, at first, but I guess I've gotten used to the extra protein.

 

[RealDeal]

This is what mine feel like.

This is people's reaction who are hit by it.

My reaction.

I think mine is a combo of lots 'o food, protein powder and creatine. Really gotta try either the ginger root or some digestive enzymes...this gas is getting rough!!!

 

[The mann]

only the fart bombs...............

 

[recumbant69]

recumbant, again

the lactaid works great. except i have to take 4 pills and chew them instead of swallow like the bottle says.

 

[Y_lifter]

I get those Gas balls that run across your lower stomach and make that gurgle..urgle sound..
That means, "Look out in about 15 Min. I'm gonna clear the house".

 

[bigpoppadrew]

hahaha funny shit guys
I get the crazy gas, something in the powder that makes me almost crap my pants every 20 mins, wonder what it is. Don't get mad shits like some of you though.

 

[STORM SHADOW]

I believe you guys found out that you're LACTOSE intolerant. I had the same problem 'till I realized what it was. I switched to Twin Lab 2500 Powerder that is for Lactose intolerant people.........no more shits.
